Our Core Values

We point our students to Christ.

Jesus Christ is the foundation of everything we do. He defines salvation, love, wisdom, and service. Therefore, we strive to foster Christ-likeness in each of our students. We want them to be discipled with Christian love and truth so that they are a light to the world.

Our education is transformational.

We want our students to be a light in the world. We teach our students to develop a Biblical worldview with positive attitudes to oneself, situations, and others. We foster Christ-like respect, courtesy and love. We teach our students to show responsibility and concern for the rights and needs of others.

We educate each student uniquely.

We employ a variety of learning opportunities so that each student will learn life skills, such as research, collaboration, and communication. We aim to develop our students by recognizing each child’s unique personality and gifts so that each student will grow up to serve both the church and community.

Our school is embedded in Community.

As a school, we want to engage our local community. We seek to ensure that ACCS will continue to be an integral part of the community of Alliston for years to come. We seek to meet the needs of those who need help to be at the school. As our school is supported by a diverse body of believers, we work to develop our relationship with the churches. We also aim to connect with our alumni and community supporters regularly.

Letter from the Principal

Thank you for giving consideration to Alliston Community Christian School! Choosing a school for your child(ren) is one of the most important decisions you can make in their lives. Choosing Christ-centred education at ACCS might be one of the best decisions you can make for your children! I’d be happy to help you process the choices available to you.

You are very welcome to book a school tour and education consultation with me. We know that you have questions, and I’m here to help you find answers so that you can feel confident in your decisions.

I can help you gain understanding of some of the educational lingo like UDL, STEAM, PBL and FLEx Project Design. Maybe you have questions about IEPs and what Student Support Services are available. Maybe you are wondering what Biblical Throughlines are and how they impact our student’s learning experiences. I’m here to help you cut through the jargon and identify the most important aspects of education that will be meaningful and purposeful for you and your children.

Alliston Community Christian School has more than 40 great years of history helping students explore their abilities and discovering their place in God’s story. We have an exceptional team committed to the learning process and walking with your children on their learning journey.

Come and see how ACCS will help your child thrive in learning!
